Louvered Room Dividers Can Be Versatile

Louvers are one of the oldest styles of dividers, shutters and doors yet they have a contemporary style that will match almost any décor. They come in a wide range of styles such as shutter, plantation and saloon style as well as bifold, sliding, accordion and multifold designs. Louvered room dividers are perfect for partitioning off a laundry area because they allow the space to breathe while keeping the area hidden. We normally think of louvers as being horizontal but the Michael Cannamela 6 Panel Louvered Screen is a little bit different because the louvers are vertical.  It measures 68” high by 60” wide and can be found at bonluxat.com where prices were unavailable.

Prices for these doors can vary greatly depending on a number of options such as the dimensions, whether they are finished or unfinished, materials they are made of, whether they are custom made and where they are purchased from. For instance the Wayborn Wooden Blind Room Divider is 84” tall and 72” wide. They sell for $499.99 because they are made of solid birch. They only come in one color and can be found at accent-furniture-direct.com.  Other rather expensive louvered room dividers are the Royal Viennese Louvre Screen with Arched Top Panels. They sell for $406.30 and are also made of solid birch with birch laminates and a venetian blind style slatted louver in either white or brown from roomdividerstore.com.

If you are looking for a more versatile divider you should look at the Tranquility Wooden Shutter Screen Room Divider from iroomdividers.com. It ranges in price from $109.98 to $149.98 and it has 2-way hinges that allow for folding in either direction with independent adjustable blinds on each panel. It comes only in a cherry finish. You can also use these dividers as a replacement for wide doors by attaching one side to a wall and allowing the other side to be pulled out to its full length. These doors provide a modern appearance even though they are somewhat retro in their design.

For a darker addition to your home the Espresso Finish Folding Room Divider with Louver & Bead-Board Panels from ivgstores.com is a good choice. Its dimensions are 50” L x 6” W x 70” H and it has a painted espresso finish and made from dry dust from rubber wood for $188.70. This divider is perfect for a dining room or pantry area but would also be perfect for a den or family room as well. It can be used as a partition for a large interior room or as a replacement for wide doors.

The 6 ft. Tall Venetian Screen found on orientalfurniture.com is available in 3, 4, 5 or six panel screens in natural, honey, rosewood, black or white and is a real bargain at $199.00. You can find some of these louvered room dividers in a polymer that is very durable as well as retractable dividers. You should check with local retailers to determine what is most readily available in your area.
